Pivoting Column changed my data field into column headers

image.pngHi, there's a comment section column from a Powerapps that makes some parts of some comments column headers. Please suggest how do i stop this from happening

Hi there my good people. I found a solution to my earlier predicament. I hadn't noticed the slight but impactful mistake I made- I split my values column with a comma delimeter, which caused the few comments that had a comma in them get split as well. Ah, the tales of being an entry level data analyst starting with Power Bi... Thank you all for your messages!

Hi @Ntshepi 

That is exactly what pivoting does - very similar to what pivot  in Excel does. Post a workable sample data (not an image) and your expected result from that.
